Bill > HCR66

This Concurrent Resolution officially declares April 2022 as Financial Literacy Month in the State of Delaware, recognizing the importance of financial education for all students from kindergarten through college. The resolution highlights how the COVID-19 pandemic has worsened financial inequalities and emphasizes that equipping students with financial knowledge is crucial for their success in college, careers, and civic life. It points to evidence suggesting that financial education reduces the likelihood of carrying credit card debt and encourages collaboration among educational institutions, government, businesses, and community groups to promote informed financial decision-making among consumers, building upon previous efforts like the creation of a task force that led to the development of K-12 financial literacy standards approved in 2018.
